Goals
In the next one year I see myself completing my PG course of Public Health and learn various aspects of conducting researching in the field of public health and presenting the facts and conclusion in a systematic form. By upscaling my soft skills like use of excel and statistical tool, I will be able to finish my dissertation, required for the completion of my master’s degree. While doing my dissertation I wish to be efficient enough to get it published in a national or international journal. As I opted global health for my 2nd semester I was only introduced to the basic concept of epidemiology. Being, a public health professional I wish to learn more about it, and I have finalized few courses for the same. I have planned to complete other relevant courses as well. My aim for the next 3 years is to become a resource person to guide and lead group of public health persons. Also, gain more and more knowledge and call myself a one health expert. I want to be able to make evidence-based policy recommendation for the domain of one health. Equipped with knowledge of NGOs, organization formation, finances, projects and their execution, welfare of workers and various needs of an NGO and its management, will be able to form a team of qualified public health workers, supervisors, leaders and managers. By publish quality research work in national and international journals and my team will work for evidence-based policy recommendation, to help the weaker sections of the society, animals, and environment.

I understood the complexity of making a video, being a camera conscious person, this task was very challenging for me. This task gave me the opportunity to experience the process for making a video with a message from my end. Additionally, my suggestion for this task is that if the interns are asked to edit the video according the need, we would get to learn how to make those required changes. Not everyone might agree but this can be voluntary.
I read about writing a blog before doing this task, as this was the first blog I ever wrote. It helped me in understand how to select the important aspects that must be mentioned in a blog.
From the technical aspect I learned how to make a slide with little connect but impactful description. I also learned about the public health system of the assigned country which I would never have had otherwise.
1. Critical thinking
2. Providing valuable feedback (which can only happen if I understand the problem correctly)
3. Keen observation skills
4. Improved reading skills
5. As the slides were not to be presented, I also learned how I can create a self-explanatory PPT which is not boring to see.I’m not sure if I acquired any data management skill. We mostly worked on data collection and data organization.

Experience with INSPIRE Program
Testimonial
The internship at FHTS was my first virtual internship. It gave me a great platform to work online with several challenging task. I feel more confident due to the skills acquired during my internship. Being a public health student, I understand how essential it is for us to present our thoughts or interventions in a limited time and at FHTS I was given the opportunity to do the same, have experienced how challenging it can be. I also have learned to segregate the data I need more efficiently, from the vast set of data available. The entire team of FHTS is very friendly and professional, they cleared all my doubts whenever I had any. I would like to thank the FHTS family for giving me this opportunity.
